diYeers are bound for, il in the southern
part Of New Mexico, where they are to
mine coal for one Of the new big railroad
lines being constructed in that section,
tho Same aa they havo been doing for the

g2Gss2x;a1laria Gazetts.

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper In
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the E1eHrY.sEvEN YEARS Gifts existence In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni.
cling of the history of what's going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1887-05-25

The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well a.
from every part of the habitable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
peIs.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of estate, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
